BV,
You need to read some of the URLs, the ones based on real research, that are
always posted here and other places by the salt advocates and you will find
that those results are based on Aquaculture models, not backyard ponds.
Now, you may ask, "what's the difference?" Rod Farlee used...

combi can visit http://tinyurl.com/giup
Unfortunately (for some) this is also a UK based company, but dont
worry guys very soon it will be on the other markets.
As someone was saying here is good to see that there're still...

I'm glad that your ammonia problem has been more or less solved. Another
good product, natural too for ammonia problem is zeolite. One word of
advice regarding ammonia; dont leave it in your pond on "just in case"
basis as it may dump the ammonia back into the pond. Once the problem
is solved take...

Hey BV:
I sent you an email, (removing the frontal lobe piece), to confirm your
address, as I was ready to send salt posts to you, but never heard back from
you. Did you receive my email?
I know of a number of educated folks that do add salt to their ponds,
routinely each spring and let the levels...

Not sure. I'll have to check. I have checked the Depots, Lowes, etc. Nobody
knows what Potash is when I ask, but I have also checked the aisles and not
see anything 0-0-60.
The three garden stores I went to last week had either not heard of
potash, didn't have it, or...

Goodmorning, hopefully I can explain this, we have two ponds side by
side. I want to enlarge one of them and join them. Since the old
liners are pretty dirty I thought I would replace one liner to the

liner on...

OK gang! I have approx 35 comets ( and counting ) and 8 Koi in my pond. (
9x10 by 2.5 to 3ft depth) I want the 8 Koi in my pond. The comets range in
size from I'm so new ya can't see me yet to about 6 inches in length and
need to be moved elsewhere.... So far we have managed to catch a half...

Sorry Lee, the red and whites are sarassa, comets are
goldfish with long fins and tail. Shubunkin can be red,
white and black or blue, black and red or even blue and

Hello again - .
I find Firestone liners everywhere. The local guy tells me that Everliner
is MUCH better, least in part that the warranty beats Firestone.
Apparently, the Firestone warranty is void if you cut the liner in any way
(?). What's the consensus? For the size I want to buy, the...

ok, I subscribed.........(at $20. rate)
but I also wanted to buy back issues..
BUT neither IE or netscape allowed me to get to the check out page! I was
able to get to a page that lists their back issues, but no pricing.
anyone else get through or have problems???

I'm glad (and a bit surprised) to hear that some folks have had success
joining two liners together. I tried to join a small pond and a big pond
and it was a two year disaster. In retrospect I guess I never did it
'right'.
If you do it make very very very sure that both liners are 100%...

Lee, funny you mention this ...
When I was at the store where I buy my fish, a month or 2 ago, we got into
a conversation about growth, people not having the right sized ponds etc...
The store guy told me quite a few people dump their big kois into the nearby
canal. Or the "uglier"...

I work in brackish as well as fresh water.

Depends on if you are talking freshwater algae or sal****er algae.
And if you consider algae a plant or animal, there is some dispute.
Tricky stuff,...
